The market bonnet is versatile 18th-century headwear. Black is by far the most common color for market bonnets, many of which were silk. This is truly a piece that looks good on everyone. The simple bow trim adds a classic touch. These are one size fits all.
I've been pleased with everything I've purchased from Samson Historical. You're a great resource. I have an 1806 NH Tavern museum and an 1816 Post Office Museum. Your offerings have been a great help. Thank you. Fredricka Olson
I wish that it came with the historical references to it. I work at a living history museum and need to find historical references to what I wear if it’s something other than what I’m given.
I am very pleased with the bonnet. It was a very good purchase.
